Geocache Description:

This is a Multi cache.
An easy walk to the final cache, suitable for both novice and veteran cachers. No bush whacking is necessary however the rocks can be slippery when wet. Be sure to take a short stop to enjoy the view!

Step 1
Start at the above position. Here you will find a brass disk in concrete.

Step 2
From this brass disk, (assuming a flat earth) go 462 meters at 273º 30' True, to a similar brass disk. This is a good test of your projection skills, but even without calculating the projection, one should be able to find the second brass disk, by sighting a compass bearing of approx 273º True. (use 19º east compass declination). The second disk is just south of the large, most distant metal structure.

Step 3
The cache is 25 meters at 103º True from the second brass disk.

Note: (If your compass is not set with the 19° declination from Magnetic North, then you would site a Bearing of 84° Magnetic rather than 103° True).

Cache contains
baseball bubble water game
sports wristwatch
couple packs sports cards
Exist Glacier travel bug
many non sport miscellaneous items

Look for some orange flagging on an oak tree within a few meters of the cache.

Happy Caching!
